Map - Evergreen Brickworks (we will be hiking in and around Don Valley Brick Works Park).
We will meet at the South Pavillion, near the pollinator garden. We are going to walk north from the parking area towards Don Valley Brick Works Park. The trail(s) are all loops, we will meander through looking for points of interest and a good spot to watch the sunset before heading back south to the parking lot. The main trail is about 2.5 km, but we are hoping to explore some of the side trails as well.
As this hike will be at sunset, you may wish to bring a flashlight or headlamp, and be sure to wear safe, comfortable shoes.

We will meet at Kay Marston Pavilion (the parking area is just next to the playground).
For the 2km hike:
We will be taking the trail along the South side of the gorge, starting off heading East towards the "Hole in the Rock". Please note, there is a long set of stairs, with handrails, that go down to the rivers edge. We will take our time. :-)
We will then hike back up towards Kay Marston Pavilion. This will conclude the 2km hike.
For the 5 km hike:
For those who wish to continue, we will complete the above and then continue heading South-West along the gorge. There is a fence along the edge of the gorge for safety. The trail is mostly flat with some slight eleveations and tree roots, and rocks. Once we get to the bridge that crosses the gorge, we'll take a short break (and lots of photos!) before turning around and coming back the same way.
This portion of the hike also includes a lookout that is a long staircase down the side of the gorge. Of course, this is optional and we will take our time getting up/down the stairs.
